Orion K. Brooks, first-class hospital apprentice on the supply ship Celtic, spent Saturday and Sunday at the home of Justice Corodon Norton.
The Celtic, which has been laying In Boston Navy Yard for some weeks payi, was ordered to New York City for a load of supplies to be taken to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they aro distributed to the various ships of the Tnited States Navy stationed there.
In rounding the coast in last week's .storm, the ship struck the Half Moon Shoal in Nantucket Sound Feon.fl.ry 1, at 12 noon. On account of tides and severe winds, tho ship having gone! bow on, was alternately struggling between bow and .<^tern .graundinga { for a day and a half, llnally making the deep sea and gettii^g under way on the night of February 2. They were all of that night and next day at sea, arriving at the Navy Yard February 4, anchoring at tne aock ai 11 a. m. Thursday
The cause of the accident was due to the fog, the ship having gotten a mile out of her course.
Mr. Brooks states that had the ship been heavily loaded it would have pounded to pieces in a very short time; having no cargo it rebounded when it struck, and thus a grave and serious accident vraa providentially avoided. As it was, he said all of the offlcers and crew were prepared tor the worst.
